Last month, a lot of people had a total solar eclipse on their minds. This Wood Turtle, however, has a total eclipse forever in its eyes.

While scoping out a new site to potentially do some turtle surveys, Kiley noticed something unusual about one of the Red-tailed Hawks circling above.

Shortly after starting Wood Turtle surveys in New York this spring, Kiley started to see some familiar Wood Turtle butts poking out of the plant and woody debris along the streambanks.

The Orianne Society I fell in love with Couch's Spadefoot Toad while visiting my mother in Arizona

While surveying a stream for Wood Turtles last month, Kiley chanced on this #SpottedTurtle in the stream. He had seen this same #turtle last year in a shallow wetland nearby, but dry conditions this spring may have pushed this turtle to seek refuge in the stream. #Clemmysguttata

Shout out to The Orianne Society. I'm pretty sure I have more framed Orianne prints than anybody on my block. Art for a good cause ( #amphibian and #reptile conservation).

Have you ever encountered a Northern #MapTurtle ?

The intricate markings on the top of their shell resemble contour lines on a topographic map, giving the species its name. Kiley tells us all about map #turtles on Faces of the Forest this month:

Blake recently attended the “Careers on Wheels” event at Jeff Davis Primary School to showcase tools and equipment we use for conducting our prescribed burns and to introduce our educational animals to over 650 students and staff members!

The Orianne Society This beautiful girl is my favorite turtle. I've seen her frequently for the past five summers, but only bother her for a few pictures one time per year, just to follow her progress. Wood turtles' habitats are threatened here in CT - she gets my utmost deference and respect!

I caught this messed-up box turtle today. It has a lot of scutes that are bare-bone like they just flaked off. No obvious trauma and doesn't look like fire damage. Haven't seen this before, need some turtle expertise here! The Orianne Society Turtle Conservancy Turtle Survival
